First time chameleon owner, first post

[sam.tayy]

Hi!! I got my first chameleon. He is a veiled chameleon, and is still young. I even named him, his name is Rango. I feed him twice a day, a normal amount that way I don’t over feed or under feed. I got him from Petco.

My brother knows a lot about reptiles and chameleons. I have also done some research. I just wanted to join this community as a safe ground. I have done my research by watching chameleon academy on YouTube and website. I will still be looking into more information about the species so I don’t miss anything.

I would ditch the red light asap. What are you using it for? Heat?
